Yes there is some country crap, but for the most part there's decent stuff coming out... rap/hiphop however is a boil on the ass of music - I submit the travesty that is "My Hump" as evidence...

goddamn I hate that song.

"Honky Tonk Badonkadonk"

Jeeeeeeeeeeeezus H. Christ! It's time for me to turn in my running shoes and get out of the human race.

If you like that song you should listen to "Honky Tonk Bukaki." Its in your face country music.

They are just now getting into the arena scene with the light shows and pyro stuff, like the hair bands did 15 years ago.

Country music gets slagged unfairly.
Actually the song writing in country is currently the best of any style and the musicians in Nashville are some of the best going

OK I pick this one:

"There is unrest in the forest
There is trouble with the trees
For the Maples want more sunlight
And the Oaks ignore their pleas"

- You're right,that's stupid. Singing about dumb forests and trees and stuff. Definately no socioeconomic metaphor or poetic imagery there.

I hear she's a real stuck up biatch with a phobia for people touching her. So good luck with that, especially with that nickname

That being said, Johnny Cash is a great artist, and there's lots of artists following his lead. Sad thing is the overcommercial pap is broadcasted. Same goes for rap/hiphop. The Black Eyed Peas calling themselves a hiphop act is a travesty.

Honky Tonk Badonkadonk. Never heard the song, but with a title like that, I can guarantee it blows. I'd bet my life on it.

Honky Tonk Badonkadonk is the theme song to "Honk Bag"

underground rap easily has the best lyricists.

"the bling bling era was cute but it's about to be done / i'll leave you full-of-clips like the moon blockin' the sun"

"using numerology to count the people I sent to heaven
produces more digits than 22 divided by 7"

~immortal technique

mainstream rap easily has the worst.

"Young black and famous, with money hanging out the anus."
~Mase/Puff Daddy
 
2006-02-27 10:50:51 AM
I agree with Major Tom. One perspective I continually see is this: Country is to white people as Hip Hop, Rap, some R&B is to black people. The mainstream is poisoned with stereotyping, mixed with loss of content.

It's called "classic rock" or "classic whatever" because those artists did it first. It's hard to be original nowadays after all of the good fruit has been picked so to speak.

So, this guy is working on his first day at the morgue, and he notices somebody with a cork in his anus. Intrigued, he removes the cork, and the anus starts singing "on the road again". He puts back the cork, and the singing stops.

He calls his call, and show him : Cork on, no singing. Cork off, "on the road again".
- "Well, what do you of THAT ?", asks the rookie.
- "Come on,", replied the other in a blase voice, "everybody knows that any asshole can sing country music."
 
2006-02-27 10:54:00 AM
i like (some, maybe even most) Country music. but Honky Tonk Badonkadonk has got to be the most cloyingly annoying song ever. any genre.

here's a hint submitter - some [insert genre] sucks. but not all of it.

Turn it up some
Alright boys, this is her favorite song
You know that right
So, if we play it good and loud
She might get up and dance again
Ooh, she put her beer down
Here she comes
Here she comes
Left left left right left
Whoo

Husslers shootin' eightball
Throwin' darts at the wall
Feelin' damn near 10 ft. tall
Here she comes, Lord help us all
Ol' T.W.'s girlfriend done slapped him outta his chair
Poor ole boy, it ain't his fault
It's so hard not to stare
At that honky tonk badonkadonk
Keepin' perfect rhythm
Make ya wanna swing along
Got it goin' on
Like Donkey Kong
And whoo-wee
Shut my mouth, slap your grandma
There outta be a law
Get the Sheriff on the phone
Lord have mercy, how's she even get them britches on
That honky tonk badonkadonk
(Aww son)

Now Honey, you can't blame her
For what her mama gave her
You ain't gotta hate her
For workin' that money-maker
Band shuts down at two
But we're hangin' out till three
We hate to see her go
But love to watch her leave
With that honky tonk badonkadonk
Keepin' perfect rhythm
Make ya wanna swing along
Got it goin' on
Like Donkey Kong
And whoo-wee
Shut my mouth, slap your grandma
There outta be a law
Get the Sheriff on the phone
Lord have mercy, how's she even get them britches on
With that honky tonk badonkadonk
(Ooh, that's what I'm talkin' bout right there, honey)

We don't care bout the drinkin'
Barely listen to the band
Our hands, they start a shakin'
When she gets the urge to dance
Drivin' everybody crazy
You think you fell in love
Boys, you better keep your distance
You can look but you can't touch
That honkey tonk badonkadonk
Keepin' perfect rhythm
Make ya wanna swing along
Got it goin' on
Like Donkey Kong
And whoo-wee
Shut my mouth, slap your grandma
There outta be a law
Get the Sheriff on the phone
Lord have mercy, how's she even get them britches on
That honky tonk badonkadonk

That honky tonk badonkadonk
Yeah, that honky tonk badonkadonk

(That's it, right there boys, that's why we do what we do
It ain't for the money, it ain't for the glory, it ain't for the free whiskey
It's for the badonkadonk)



I say it's a misogynistic, body-focused, society regressing tie.

Nope.. anything by the Black Eyed Peas takes that trophy.

Especially that my farking hump drivel they call a song

You know, if I didn't already have a sneaking suspicion payola is alive and well, the fact that "My Hump" gets play would make me a believer.

If any of you farkers out there has XM, channel 12 has better country music (not Nashville). It's actually pretty cool. They call it progressive country, but that's just because most of the bands come from Austin.

I imagine it's a hit 'cause all country music centers around either losing your girl/guy or drinking. I guess they break-up a lot in the south.

"My Hump". Drivel would an upgrade. Achy Breaky Heart has more lyrical nuance. Black Eyed Peas don't write songs, they program beats and lyrically they can't even match the Telletubbies Theme.

Country music hasn't been "country" music since about 1980 - possibly earlier. What passes for country music these days is simply overproduced, bland southern rock.

I was in Best Buy the other day, and some fat white guy with a ball-cap and goatee was buying Toby Keith, Slipknot and Fiddy Cent CDs. That about sums it up.

To quote Dale Watson, "I'm too country now for country - just like Johnny Cash."
